WLFI Token: From Governance to Market

World Liberty Financial, the cryptocurrency venture closely linked to US President Donald Trump, is preparing the release of a third-party audit of its stablecoin, hinting at a major change for its governance token, WLFI.

Speaking at the Permissionless conference in Brooklyn on Wednesday, co-founder Zak Folkman revealed that the company’s stablecoin has just received its first attestation report from an independent accounting firm.

This audit will be published on the project’s website “within the next few days,” marking a significant step toward transparency and trust in the platform’s financial infrastructure.

Folkman also teased upcoming developments for WLFI, the project’s governance token.

“I don’t want to give away too much, but if you pay attention over the next couple of weeks, I think everyone... is going to be very, very happy.”

Currently, WLFI grants holders voting rights but cannot be traded or transferred. However, that may soon change.

In a recent post on X, World Liberty Financial confirmed that it is actively working to make WLFI transferable, responding to strong demand from its community.

“You asked to make $WLFI transferable—we heard you. The team is working behind the scenes to make it happen. Big news coming soon.”

This pivot would allow WLFI holders to trade their tokens on secondary markets, potentially increasing liquidity and market engagement.

The announcement has sparked a mix of excitement and skepticism within the crypto community. Some users are eager for the opportunity to buy and sell WLFI, while others have expressed concerns about potential market manipulation or “dumping” by early holders.

WLFI's New App

In addition to the stablecoin audit and WLFI’s upcoming transferability, World Liberty Financial is preparing to launch a new app designed to make crypto more accessible for retail users.

The app is expected to streamline transactions, offer secure wallet features, and provide real-time monitoring of holdings, all with a user-friendly interface.

This move aims to broaden the platform’s appeal, especially as the US election cycle heats up.

The project has not been without controversy. World Liberty Financial has faced criticism from Democratic lawmakers and government ethics watchdogs, who argue that Trump’s involvement creates conflicts of interest—especially as the President has advocated for deregulation in the crypto sector.

The Trump Organization has stated that the President’s investments and assets are managed in a trust overseen by his children.

Trump’s Crypto Windfall

Donald Trump has reported earning $57.4 million from his involvement with World Liberty Financial, according to his 2025 financial disclosure filed with the US Office of Government Ethics.

The filing reveals that Trump holds over 15 billion WLFI governance tokens, which grant him voting rights. The income is attributed to token sales, reflecting the project’s rapid fundraising success.

Since its launch in September 2024, World Liberty Financial has raised approximately $550 million through two public token sales.

The platform, which focuses on decentralized finance (DeFi) and dollar-pegged stablecoins, has attracted major crypto investors, including Tron founder Justin Sun, who invested $30 million, and Web3Port, which contributed $10 million.

With a stablecoin audit imminent, a new app on the way, and WLFI token transferability in the works, World Liberty Financial is positioning itself as a disruptive force in both crypto and traditional finance.

As the project continues to evolve, it faces ongoing scrutiny from regulators and critics—but for now, its blend of political branding and crypto innovation is capturing headlines and investor interest alike.
